ART IN BALI : TEROMPONG BERUK, A LEGACY FROM EAST BALI

In Balinese language, beruk means coconut shell. The gong of Terompong Beruk is made of dried and stretched gourd.
Sounds are produced by striking the plates with wooden mallets.
In an attempt to produce stronger sounds and longer tones, the wooden bars were replaced with the metal ones in the contemporary set of Terompong Beruk. Yet, coconut shells are still used as the resonating bowls.

This type of ensemble exists only in Bangle hamlet, which is located in Bunutan village, Abang district, Karangasem. The hamlet is in a hilly region 400 meters above sea level with Lempuyang Luhur temple, one of the most important places of worship for Balinese-Hindus, located to the south of East Bali.
The contemporary Terompong Beruk ensemble usually plays a set of compositions comprising Gelagah Manis, Nem Cenik, Nem Gede, Kutus Cenik and Kutus Gede.

The ensemble usually performs during the anniversary of the Pemaksan Bangle temple, which falls on the full moon of the third month on the Balinese calendar.

A "Barung " complete set of gamelan consists of Terompong Beruk, Terompong beruk , Gangsa , Curing , Riong , Jublag , Kemplung , Kempil , and a number of other tools. All these instruments are made of wooden planks that resonant voice came from coconut shell "beruk". As for Gong made of dried large pumpkin.

To add a festive ensemble sound , Terompong Beruk equipped with flute , drum , cengceng , and etc . But now Terompong Beruk have been replaced with steel blades , although there are still echoes of the Beruk . Maybe to get louder and long sound.

There are no specific story or literature or inscription about this "Terompong Beruk " instrument, even in Bali Gamelan Instrument history book. But it's a local history about Terompong Beruk known Bangle Village, Bunutan ,East Bali.
At first glance, the story can be traced Terompong Beruk existence of stories of community leaders and elders of Bangle Village. The story passed down from generation to generation to generation. Ida Made Giur Dipta, a community leader from the village of Culik village, has developed a bit of the history of the birth of Terompong Beruk based story pinesepuh Bangle.

Giur wrote that the existence Terompong Beruk related to the construction of the temple Pemaksan Bangle Village. When the temple was completed, then ceremony held, including "melaspas, Ngenteg Linggih" procession, continues "Pujawali" or "Piodalan" temple annivesrary. At the time of carrying out the ceremony certainly can not be separated from the sacred dance performances as offerings to God almighty Hyang Widhi. But without gamelan dance is not yet perfect. At the time, there was a villager of Bangle has one "Terompong" instrument/ensamble made of coconut shell as his entertainment in spare time.

Since thats Terompong Beruk was then fitted with a flute, a type of drum (in the form of two segments of bamboo struck on the ground), ricik or cengceng of scrap metal "singkal" and ploughshare (tool flowing fields). From tools that formed a gamelan instruments are still very simple but very meaningful to accompany the sacred dance performances at the time.

After the big ceremony, the elders and community of Bangle illage then consulted with the "prajuru Pura" temple administration. They began to think to make a set of gamelan Terompong Beruk more complete with the ingredients originally made in their village. Because they have not been able to buy a bronze gamelan instruments as its are very expensive.

BALI. THE PAST RECEDESS
By Dee Gorra / Founder and Team Leader of Adimelali Bali

A good friend of mine was sent me a link of a Youtube. Here is the link
https://youtu.be/-emtuVSvds4?si=yk5c3GSrk9W-lfAR
Followed by a question "Who will stop this polit gangsters ? taking money wherever they can!!?!". Honestly its not an easy question to answer and such a sad news for me and most of us Balinese and those foreigner who live and love Bali as their home even they still have options while not us Balinese.

We will have no others home and have no idea where.to go if oneday this island without we realised alreaey sold by ourselves and of course those elites in the name of tourism which today not more than just a new greed industry.

With over than 2 decades in industry, and trough up and down with Bali. The Iraqi War...The 911...the Bali.Bombing... the Agung Eruption into the Pandemic. I been asked so many times which is the worst?! Its all worst for local Bali economic since Bali only depend and run by tourism as main industry. As creative industry, handy craft even farming today in Bali are related into tourism.
Without tourism all those agriculture into creative industry in Bali will never turn into better economic for local.

In 2015 I.already recognised a new wave of trend in tourism. Slowly from historical and cultural tourism turn into aesthetic arena of photo spot and instagramable place. Theres nothing wrong about it. But with a leader with no capable...ignorance of stake holder and politician than how much is too much. Everythings turn too much and more too many much once the pandemic end. Beach club.to rivers club into.rice farm club play their music wash out all tranquil and purpose of be in Bali with all nature beauty to enjoy with a newes techno music and 'influencer'.play their.role to spend all money with less things to see and understand about Bali.

Since its created in 2008, the Adimelali logo has undergone several changes. At the beginning, the Adimelali logo was just the island of Bali cut into two lines as a form of three working territories which we categorized as the most well-known tourist spot (South and North) and secret spot (East and West) at that time. The initial color of the logo was sky blue (our crew eventually called it adimelali blue) because the blue color is close to the sea and clear sky. Then in 2015 it became black and added two foot prints (taken from the foot prints of Dee Gorra's baby nephew) as a symbol of nature explorers. And after 2021, as a symbol of revival and starting from zero, the logo and colors were changed to black and with a calm yellow background. As a form of maturity( wise) in Balinese philosophy, and globally as symbol of the sun, positive energy, movement, joy, happiness. And the tagline of came with a new logo is "SHOWCASING THE AUTHENTIC BALI TO THE WORLD" as our answer to so many things in Bali and Indonesia that travelers and tourists want to visit is something that is no longer about culture, art and Balinese social values, but the era of Instatourism changes many things, so to strengthen the differences and our aim is to share a reality and also something that is characteristic of Bali or the local area which may currently be a bit forgotten or even unattractive for Instatraveler who boasts of touristy hot spot areas but lacks the value of local or Balinese authenticity, such destinations, food and hospitality.
For those our new and especially repeaters clients and buddy who find us back trough social media and website dont be worry, is still remain the same in every authenticity local Bali value, its just now we are coming with a new strategy to find a right market and deliver way much better with high value of product and services in Bali and beyond. A trust is still there with us.🙏🏼
